Sofiia Dubyna is a Ukrainian-born visual artist (b. 2000) based in the Netherlands. She graduated from AKI ArtEZ Academy of Art & Design in 2023 and is part of a new generation of emerging painters gaining attention in the Dutch art scene.
Her work primarily consists of figurative paintings and drawings that revolve around friendship, intimacy, and young womanhood. Dubyna often depicts herself and her close circle of friends in raw, playful, and sometimes provocative scenes. A distinctive aspect of her practice is the use of unconventional materials—such as leftover makeup from friends—which adds a personal and tactile layer to her work.
Overall, her art blends vulnerability, and bold imagery to explore relationships, identity, and shared experiences.
